BBC SINGERS

The BBC Singers hold a unique position in British musical life. Performing everything from Byrd to Birtwistle, their versatility is second to none. The choir’s unrivalled expertise in performing the best of contemporary music has brought about creative relationships with some of the most important composers and conductors of the 20th and 21st centuries. The BBC Singers perform all over the United Kingdom and abroad, working regularly with the BBC’s own orchestras as well as a number of period-instrument and contemporary music ensembles. They play an important rôle in the BBC Proms each year, and perform regularly in St Paul’s Knightsbridge and St Giles’ Cripplegate in London. The BBC Singers work regularly with chief conductor David Hill, principal guest conductors Paul Brough and Bob Chilcott, conductor laureate Stephen Cleobury and associate composer Gabriel Jackson. With nearly all concerts broadcast on BBC Radio 3, the BBC Singers have the highest broadcast profile of any choir. This world-class, 24-voice ensemble is committed to sharing its enthusiasm and creative expertise through its nationwide outreach programme.
